Architecture Andean Center.
In the middle of century XIV the Empire Inca was able to dominate the rest of
the Andean cultures, between which they emphasized those of Chavín, Mochica,
Paracas, Is born, Chimú, Huari and Tiahuanaco. Between best works made by
preincaicas cultures they emphasize the staggered temple of Chavín de Huantar,
where affinities with the culture of the Sale are appraised, in Mexico; the
Huaca of the Sun in Moshe, a pyramid staggered of bricks dried to the sun; The
Door of the Sun (c. 500) in Tiahuanaco, a monolithic door located in a sacred
place similar to the one of Chavín de Huantar; |

the Huaca of the Dragoon (centuries XIV-XV) in Chan (capital Chimú near present
Trujillo), constructed in marinates like most of the architecture of the coastal
zone, and chulpas, small funeral towers of circular base that appear in the
river basin of the Titicaca lake. The Incas settled down themselves in Cuzco
towards year 1200 and from they began its expansion there beginning by Quechua.
Its architecture connects with the traditions of Chavín and Tiahuanaco, as they
show the found constructions in the strength of Machu Picchu, located to a
height of 2,400 ms under the skirts of the Urubamba. One of the most original
characteristics of the primitive architecture Inca it is the assembly to
cyclopean stone bone, specially for the erection of walls like in Sacsayhuamán
(century XIII), the strength of Cuzco or in the six granites monoliths that
close the temple of Dead of Ollantaytambo (c. 1400), on the valley of the
Urubamba. The evolution of the Empire supposed the improvement in the carving of
the stone, as it is appraised in the constructions of Monte Dorado or
Choquequilla (century XV), in the valley near Cuzco de Huaracondo. Pre-Columbian
